Making a commitment to fundraise
You will be asked to raise a minimum amount as a member of Marathon for the Cure. The minimum varies based on your marathon: $2,200* as a registered member through one of our official marathon partners or $250 as a registered member through our open option (if you have secured your marathon registration on your own).
Once registered, you will be mailed a t-shirt as a token of our appreciation. You will also receive more information about how you can use our online tools including a personalized web page, a virtual training coach, and templates and tips for fundraising. All designed with you and your needs in mind.
When you commit to running one of our official marathons, you will receive incentive items from New Balance when you reach various donation levels:
$1,000 = New Balance shoelaces
$2,200 = a New Balance race day singlet
$3,500 = a New Balance performance running hat
$5,000 = a New Balance tote bag
The top fundraiser for each marathon will win a New Balance outfit including pants, a jacket and shoes.
